Mobile World Congress
The mobile communications revolution is driving the world’s major technology breakthroughs. From wearable devices to connected cars and homes, mobile technology is at the heart of worldwide innovation. As an industry, we are connecting billions of people to the transformative power of the Internet and mobilising every device we use in our daily lives.
CREW will present in the EC booth in a joint demo with the Evarilos project showcasing wireless indoor localisation solutions.
Demo: Remote evaluation of RF-based indoor localisation:
Many indoor localization solutions seriously underperform in real-world deployments. Performance of wireless solutions is strongly influenced by the wireless environment, in particular the wireless propagation characteristics (that heavily depend on the type of building), and the presence of interference (caused by other devices transmitting in the same spectral band). In the CREW/EVARILOS demo, we show a benchmarking framework that measures the performance of a specific indoor localization solution in different physical wireless environments (office versus industrial environment) and under different interference conditions (ranging from no interference to heavy interference). The benchmarking framework allows fair performance evaluation of and fair comparison between indoor localization solutions operating under replicable conditions. The benchmarking process is further fully automated by using a robotic platform and can be controlled remotely. In the demo we will show the real-life benchmarking of a WiFi fingerprinting solution running in 2 open, large-scale wireless testbeds (an office environment at TU Berlin and an industrial environment at iMinds).
CREW together with the EVARILOS project was selected as one of the demonstrators at the EU 5G booth at the Mobile World Congress 2015. In the CREW/EVARILOS demo, we have shown a benchmarking framework that measures the performance of a specific indoor localization solution in different physical wireless environments (office versus industrial environment) and under different interference conditions (ranging from no interference to heavy interference). The booth has attracted many visitors, among others , Günther H. Oettinger, European Commissioner for Digital Economy (see picture) and Society, Andrus Ansip, Vice-president EC, Digital Single Market, and Mario Camoplargo, Director for 'Net Futures’ in DG CONNECT.
